Zapier
Zapier Integration
Zapier is a powerful service that connects one app to another app using what they call "Zaps". A Zap consists of a trigger and one or more actions. We built a way to use a CrowdPower campaign action as a trigger on Zapier, which could then be used to send customer data to 3,000+ 3rd party apps on Zapier. Here's an example:
You set up an automation on CrowdPower
You add a trigger that starts the automation when someone signs up to your website
You add an action to send an email to welcome the new customer
Here's where it gets interesting...
You can now add the Zapier action, which will tell Zapier to do something now that the customer has reached this point in your CrowdPower automation. What can it do? Pretty much anything. You can add the customer to a Google spreadsheet, a Trello list, a 3rd party CRM, etc. It's up to you.
If this sounds appealing, here's what you need to do get started:
On Zapier
Create a free Zapier account
Create a new Zap
Select CrowdPower for the trigger
The trigger event will be "Campaign Action"
Connect your account by entering your project's secret key (or create a new application key)
Select one of your campaigns from the list
You can skip the test, and proceed to adding actions
Follow the steps to add your actions (which will receive the data from your trigger)
Turn your Zap on when finished
On CrowdPower
Go to the campaign you selected on Zapier to be used as your trigger
Add the Zapier action to your automation
Give your action a name (for reference)
Optionally pass in a message that can be sent to another app
Conclusion
Once you turn your CrowdPower automation on, if a customer reaches the Zapier step, it is flagged to be picked up by Zapier - which polls for new data every 15 minutes. Similar to sending an email, we're sending the data to Zapier to do something with it.
With this integration, there is no limit to what you can do with CrowdPower automations. We're excited to see what you come up with.
